 extracting one or more keywords from the scheduling information for the meeting;   receiving trained word vectors for the one or more keywords;   for each of the other meetings:
 generating a sentence vector based on the scheduling information for the other meeting, and 
 calculating a similarity between the sentence vector and the trained word vectors; and 
   identifying the at least one of the other meetings that is related to the meeting based on the calculated similarities.   
     
     
         10 . A system comprising:

 collect materials associated with a meeting; 
 generate graph data for the meeting based on the collected materials, the graph data including representations of the collected materials and of relationships between the collected materials; and 
 send the graph data for the meeting to a client device, the client device configured to display a graph of the meeting using the graph data. 
   
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the collecting of the materials associated with the meeting includes collecting the materials from an online meeting service, the process further operable to:
 retrieve scheduling information for the meeting from a calendaring service from the online meeting service, wherein the generating of the graph data for the meeting is further based on the scheduling information.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the process is further operable to:
 store the scheduling information and the collected materials in a structured database; and   store the graph data in a graph database separate from the structured database.   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , the process further operable to:
 obtain a rendering of the graph of the meeting from the graph database; and   provide the rendering of the graph of the meeting to the client device, the client device configured to display the rendering of the graph of the meeting.   
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the collected materials include information about participants of the meeting, wherein the graph data includes representations of the participants of the meeting.
